The thesis attempts to explore possibilities of implementing a user interface visualization to a machine learning algorithm. As the algorithm in the thesis does not take soft values into account, the visualization is meant to highlight its’ drawbacks and aware the end user of how the results were generated. Therefore the graphical representation is aimed to fortify the algorithm as decision making

Den här kvalitetsutvecklingsstudien på en utbildningsmottagning för blivande psykologer syftade till att undersöka om det fanns någon skillnad mellan de som tidigt hoppade av erbjuden psykoterapi och de som fortsatte behandlingen. Studien hade en kvasiexperimentell design utan randomisering eller kontrollgrupp. Deltagarna bestod av 519 klinter som sökt hjälp på Psykoterapimottagningen vid Lunds un

Det finns många typer av säkerhetsstudier. En av dessa är en så kallad konfliktstudie. När man idag gör en traditionell konfliktstudie analyserar man trafiksäkerheten, oftast utifrån video-data. Det vill säga en observering av den verkliga situationen. En traditionell konfliktstudie har gjorts av Svensson & Ekblad, (2018) på en korsning vid Heleneholmsstigen/Ystadvägen i Malmö där man byggt omThere are many types of traffic studies. One of these is a so-called conflict study. Today when you do a traditional conflict study, you usually analyze traffic safety based on video data, which is an observation of the real situation. A traditional conflict study was made by Svensson & Ekblad, (2018) at a crossing at Heleneholmsstigen/Ystadvägen in Malmö, where a bicycle crossing was rebuilt.

The purpose of this master’s thesis is to provide a contribution to the research body regarding consumer returns, particularly within the online fashion retail industry. A quantitative data analysis approach is chosen and two main methods are used: data study that aims to identify patterns and interesting relationships in the data, and a simulation study that uses real input data to attempt to ide

In this thesis, an automatic emergency braking is developed using camera data. The vehicle used in the development is a Volvo XC90 equipped with a prototype version of a camera-based, automated parking system. The camera detection output is a 2D version of the static environment populated with obstacles represented by convex hulls. These are used to safely avoid real-world obstacles by braking if

A cascade matched filtering (CMF) approach is purposed for filtering rectangular pulse train tracking signals, with known signal characteristics, in an embedded signal detection unit. Two adaptive detection algorithms are suggested, adapting to alterations in noise signal characteristics, due to environmental changes. The end product was an embedded tracking detection system, enabled to identify d

Ett examensarbete om att skapa en naturlig upplevelse i en artificiell miljö

--- Att skapa en virtuell konsument: från mänsklig hud till FE modellering --- Interaktionen mellan konsument och produkt ur ett upplevelseperspektiv blir allt vanligare att simulera i den virtuella världen. För att nämna några exempel så simulerar IKEA liggkomfort medans bil- och flygplansindustrin simulerar sittkomfort. Det är ett spännande område av flera anledningar varav två är att dels så äIn the 'on-the-go' society of today, the use of single unit beverage packages has increased. Consequently, the interaction between the consumer and the package have also attracted greater interest when trying to gain advantages in a competitive market. One way of gaining such an advantage is by decreasing the developing costs of products: either by reducing time spent, or money invested in

In digital integrated circuits, memories are often a limiter for main performance, power and area. Over the past decade, integrated memories have gained dominance in terms of area and power cost. In applications like machine learning or image processing the area share can be above 80% consuming more than 50% of the total power budget. On-chip memories in CMOS technologies can be categorized as sta

In recent years, Deep Learning has proven to be an outstanding tool in the field of computer vision showing promising results in different fields such as the analysis of medical images, obstacle detection for self-driving cars, automatic image caption generation, etc. In the case of Archaeology, the adoption of these methods in the detection of archaeological structures from aerial images has been

This thesis has investigated the potential benefits of using transfer learning when training convolu- tional neural networks for the task of autonomously driving a car. Three transfer learning networks were trained and compared with a conventionally trained convolutional neural network. The first conclusion is that training, as expected, is considerably quicker when using transfer learning. More s

As design students who are about to graduate, we asked ourselves what it means to enter the professional life as a designer. We wanted to investigate how a young designer is able to make a living within the design profession. Additionally, we explored how we can include Northern European industrial manufacturing into our research and design process to learn more about mass production and its poten

I den här studien karakteriseras fenomenet anaerob korrosion utifrån både litteraturstudier om korrosionsprocesser och korrosionsprodukter samt genom undersökning av fältprover från betongkonstruktioner i salthaltiga undervattensmiljöer i södra Sverige. Anaerob korrosion av armering i vattenmättad betong är ett omfattande men hittills relativt ouppmärksammat problem. Detta fenomen kan leda till alIn this study, the phenomenon of black corrosion is characterized by both literature studies on corrosion processes and corrosion products, and by analyzing field samples from saline subaqueous concrete structures in southern Sweden. Anaerobic corrosion of reinforcement in water-saturated concrete is an extensive but yet relatively unnoticed problem. This phenomenon can lead to serious damages tha

The evolution of World Wide Web (WWW) into semantic web is happening with the aid of standards like Resource Description Framework (RDF), SPARQL and a few others from World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Over the years, semantic data management technologies have been introduced as software platforms commonly known as RDF stores. Lately these RDF stores have been tested for processing and maintenance o

A model of the Swedish power plant Mälardalen Energi, developed by Solvina AB was simulated in Dymola with different types of control strategies in order to evaluate if they could improve the operational flexibility of the plant and, thus, its ability to deliver frequency control to the Swedish power grid. Several different control strategies and process modifications were tested and compared to p

Centrala myndigheters risk- och sårbarhetsanalyser (RSA) som underlag för nationell riskbild- Nationell bild av samhällsviktiga verksamheter och beroenden Att genomföra risk- och sårbarhetsanalyser är viktigt för att skapa en förmåga att förebygga och hantera kriser och olyckor. För att fatta strategiska beslut behöver MSB en nationell riskbild av samhället vilket de bl.a. får genom nationell risThe National Risk and Capability Assessment (NRCA) is used by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) to decide to develop annual strategic plans. NRCA is carried out by dedicated experts in workshops and interviews with other actors’ representatives, etc. An alternative to this, could have been that the NRCA is performed based on risk and vulnerability assessments (RVAs) conducted by the Swe

Gynna pollinerande insekter i Ängelholms grönområden Ängelholms kommun vill förbättra förutsättningarna för pollinerande insekter i sina grönområden i staden. För att kartlägga förekomsten av humlor, solitärbin och blomflugor har inventeringar gjorts på ett antal platser. För att gynna pollinatörerna har förslag tagits fram på hur man kan öka mängden blommor genom att omvandla gräsmattor till merThe municipality of Ängelholm requested information on how to improve their urban green areas for pollinators. To find out the current status of pollinators, bumblebees, other bees and hoverflies, and to identify the key determinants of their diversity, two types of inventories were made during 2018, field observations and collection with pan traps. 14 sites in central Ängelholm were chosen based

Elevation models are important in many applications in Geographical Information System (GIS), both when applying environmental analyses and in urban planning studies. The production of elevation models has been a difficult and expensive task using traditional surveying techniques. Remote sensing methods for producing digital elevation models have solved the difficult part of the task, which consis

When designing a building one must consider safety aspects. One such aspect is that in the case of an emergency people should be able to efficiently evacuate the building. In this paper we investigate how the width-profile of a corridor leading to an exit might affect the efficiency of evacuation. We model the dynamics of crowds using a continuum model, leading to a one-dimensional non-linear hype
